Why does this story matter?
The 2022 Yamaha Vino has a sporty design and lots of features. It is tipped to attract a lot of buyers in the Japanese market. However, it is unclear whether the vehicle will make its way to our shores as it seems too costly for the Indian market. If the two-wheeler comes here, it will serve as a good addition to the two-wheeler segment.
Design
The scooter is available in six shades
The 2022 Yamaha Vino sports a headlight and indicator-mounted front apron, a flat footboard, a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, a side-mounted exhaust, and round mirrors. The vehicle packs an oval-shaped semi-digital instrument cluster, a 12V charging port, and a 20-liter under-seat storage compartment. It is offered in six color options, including the new Light Blue and Matte Green shades.
Information
It is fueled by a 4hp, 49cc engine
The new Yamaha Vino is powered by a 49cc, single-cylinder engine linked to an idle stop-start system. The mill churns out a maximum power of 4.4hp and a peak torque of 4.1Nm.
Safety
There are drum brakes on both the ends
In terms of safety equipment, the 2022 Yamaha Vino is equipped with drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with a combined braking system to avoid skidding on the roads while braking. Suspension duties on the scooter are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front end and a mono-shock unit on the rear side.
